OUR ANNUAL PROSPECTUS of the Union's 
educational work is here presented, and attention 
is again invited to the opportunities for study which 
it offers. 

€J No competition with established schools is attempted, 
but our purpose is to give direction and assistance to 
those who lack leisure for more thorough courses of 
study. 

€J Able and experienced teachers have been engaged, 
and in the large variety of subjects here scheduled 
both the ornamental and the practical may be found.

BOOK-KEEPING PENMANSHIP 

ARITHMETIC SHORTHAND 

THESE important branches are made prominent 
in our courses, and merit especial notice. 
f$ The large demand for instruction in Book-keeping 
has necessitated two classes, but the grade is the same, 
each being intended for beginners. Mr. Dufnll (of the 
Bryant & Stratton corps of teachers) continues his 
excellent service with these classes, and also with the 
Arithmetic class. 

1$ Mr. Chapin's good work in Penmanship has made 
that class so popular that the applications for member- 
ship usually exceed the class-room accommodation. 
^ Shorthand will receive especial attention this season 
from Mr. White, who promises by improved methods 
and the latest text-book to achieve even better results 
than heretofore. 

CLASSES BEGIN WEEK °f OCTOBER 29

THE Berlitz School has charge of all the instruction 
in foreign languages, and its excellent teachers 
have made these classes most attractive and successful. 
€JMr. McCutcheon is a specialist in English, and 
will so enlarge his field as to include Composition and 
Correspondence in his grammar classes.

Drawing 

FREEHAND MECHANICAL ARCHITECTURAL 

THE class in Freehand Drawing will furnish also 
such instruction as may be desired in Wash-draw- 
ing and Pen-and-ink Sketching. 

€J[ Mr. Will S. Taylor will be in charge, a teacher and 
artist of high rank. 

€[[ Mechanical Drawing will once more be taught by 
Mr. W. H. Porter, of the Normal Art School, and he 
will continue the class in Architectural and Struct- 
ural Drawing, which proved so interesting last year. 
^ As much of the training in these Art classes is indi- 
vidual, pupils of all grades are welcome. The Union 
studios are well supplied with casts, drawing-boards, 
easels, etc., but pupils must furnish their own instru- 
ments, and a small charge is made for material. 



Elocution 

PROF. BICKFORD'S marked ability and long ex- 
perience as a teacher of reading and speaking are 
again placed at the service of the Union, and his class 
promises to be as popular as ever. 

CJ Public entertainments are occasionally given during 
the season, affording the pupils the advantage of ap- 
pearing before an audience.

HENRY P. FRANK, Esq., of the Massachusetts 
bar, is again retained for a course of Law lect- 
ures. Mr. Frank's ability in handling this important 
subject has been well proved, and an unusual chance 
is here given to become posted on matters of vital 
consequence. (Apply at office for programme.)

LAST year a course of lectures was given at the 
Union under the auspices of "The National 
First Aid Association."- This proved so popular that 
a similar course of ten lectures has been arranged for 
the present season, and a pamphlet giving full partic- 
ulars may be had at the Union office. 
<J The lectures will be given weekly, and the fee for 
the course is $1.25 (not returnable). 

Civil Service 

THIS class proved so helpful and successful last 
season that it is again resumed under the care of 
the same well-trained and enthusiastic teacher, Mr. 
Everett L. Getchell. 

^ The class is especially intended to assist those wish- 
ing to take examinations as candidates for positions in 
the Railway Mail, Post-office, Customs, Metropolitan 
Park Police, or other branches of the Federal or Mu- 
nicipal Civil Service. 

Zbe Stenograpbic Club 

is designed chiefly to afford opportunities for short- 
hand practice, and is open to all Union members who 
can write from dictation. Ladies also may be admitted 
upon payment of the usual fee. Mr. W. S. White, 
teacher of the Shorthand class, is also in charge of 
this Club, and will promote to Club membership such 
pupils of the class as may prove qualified for the advance. 

CLASSES BEGIN WEEK of OCTOBER 29 



Electricity 



THE course is designed to give those who complete 
it a thorough understanding of Elementary Elec- 
tricity. Numerous experiments illustrating the princi- 
ples will be performed. It is planned to make the 
course thoroughly practical, and it will be conducted 
in a manner to arouse an interest in the useful appli- 
cations rather than a mere scientific curiosity. 
€| Mr. Woodbury, from the University of Pennsylvania, 
will again conduct the class. 



£be parliamentary Class 

(or Union Debating Club) again invites young men to 
its privileges. Mr. James W. Kimball (clerk of the 
House of Representatives) will conduct the Club, 
giving instruction in Parliamentary Law and kindred 
subjects, superintending the debates and in other ways 
giving the Club the advantage of his experience and 
judgment. 

^[ The Club will discuss timely and interesting questions 
as a legislative body, and an unusual opportunity is thus 
offered to acquire ease and fluency in public speak- 
ing and to become familiar with affairs of current 
importance. 



)£ngli0b Xiterature 

WE are happy to announce that Mr. Cecil Harper 
will again conduct this large and interesting 
class, and that the season will be devoted to the con- 
sideration of three of Shakespeare's most popular 
plays, " Hamlet," " The Merchant of Venice," and 
" Twelfth Night." 

€J These plays will be made both entertaining and in- 
structive, and their study will include sources, situation, 
text, plot, characters, etc.
